For the past few weeks, I have been sharing content from my book, 62 Posts to Overcome Blogger’s Block. I have yet to boast about the all-star lineup in my book. The NBA isn’t the only organization with a great team.
When I started my project, I had no idea how it would grow. I just knew it had to be done. I am pleased to announce that 65 bloggers are featured in my book. Overall, it was easy to reach out to connect. But there were moments when I had to do a little stalking. One thing I can say for certain, the people who know the value of free publicity said yes with no hesitation (I’m sure my massive online presence helped, too). And they responded very promptly.
The number of site owners who rejected my request can be counted on one hand. But why bother with those when I can count my blessings by the number of blogs and bloggers featured in my book. Without further ado, let me introduce you to some of the blogs now.
I’m not going to go into details about the sites in this post; however, you can click on the name to learn more about the sites and the owners. You can also follow them on Twitter.

Hi Marcie, you’ve made a good line-up here, some of the blogs mentioned above are also my favourit like that of Darren Rowse and Brian Clark.
However, there are some other blogs i love so much that i thought you would have included among the list, bloggers like- Pat Flynn, Michael Dunlop, Yaro Starak, Matt Wolfe, Derek Helperm and Ana Hoffman.
I think you should pay them a visit because i’m sure you will enjoy their blog.
Thanks.
I’m glad you like the lineup in my book; I was going for diversity- age, gender, nationality race, and interests. As you have noted by the list of bloggers you just shared, there is very little diversity. Thanks for sharing those bloggers above; I would check them out.
Hope I am on that list… some of those in the list I did the design for. Pretty cool when I see a bunch of people I have either designed or helped with their site and brand.
Hey Nile! There was a space in my book for you. I had reached out to you in the early stages and never got a response. I’ll keep you in mind for future books. I’m not done yet.
Thanks Marcie! My Authentic woman site is definitely getting known for its personal development & motivational brand… close to 300 visitors daily, wordlwide- mind boggling!
Clara.
Congratulations, Clara! Thanks for keeping me abreast of your progress. This has made my day!
Let me clarify Marcie…300 pageviews as opposed to 70 to upwards TO 100 visitors 🙂
Thanks
